    Nara: The City of Deers

    September 25, 2016 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    According to the legend, the god Kasugs Taisha came to Nara with a white deer in the old days. So till this day the deers in Nara are considered sacred and they are all over the town (but mainly at Nara Park where the grasses and tourists are). Louis CK hated them vut i find them extremely cute. They are not scared of humans, so you can touch and feed them. Normaly it is the other way around, some of the humans seem to be afraud of thwn, since the deers could be aggresive that a gang of them will surround you if they smell any food with you.
    The female deers are well groomed, have soft fur and looked cute, so they got alot of intention from the tourists and got alot of food. The male deers on the other hand looked like they haven't taken a bath for years, ugly and have hard fur that sometimes clumps up together. They are normally left alone and didn't get any food. I think the male deers have to start being more metrosexual, or else they might die out from starvation
